I'm searching and failing to find information in this mailing list, on the GitHub repository, or on the official website on the following related topics...
  • End of life
  • Long-term support (LTS)
  • Version scheme

End of life

I found seemingly ad hoc news posts about end-of-life announcements, but that's not really a reasonable way for us to plan.

Long-term support

Similarly, I'm not finding any information on long-term servicing.

Version scheme

While we're on the topic, there's no clear version scheme. RabbitMQ has been on major version 3 forever (I'll use "major", "minor", and "patch" colloquially, because RabbitMQ has no published definitions). From what I've seen on the upgrading page, it seems like minor releases are actually introducing major breaking changes. But, wait! There are at least two patch versions, 3.5.3 and 3.6.7, that introduce breaking changes in plugins and client libraries (what exactly is a "minor breaking change"?).



Please help! I need to help understanding what is stable, supported, and what will be breaking and when!

Maybe this is the page you're looking for:

This *helps* in one dimension (end-of-life), thanks! And I'm surprised I haven't found this one yet, is it linked from *any* of the other pages? (I've been doing 'site:rabbitmq.com' searches, too, geez!)

OMG, it's literally not even in the first page of results though!

It's linked from [1], under "Supported RabbitMQ Versions".

It is now linked to from the downloads page, doc ToC and the change log. The page was quickly added during a conversation at our off-site in May, we have
forgotten to link to it.
